Description

A flavorful twist on the classic grilled cheese with Cajun-seasoned shrimp and pepper jack cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices Texas toast
  • 7 ounces cooked shrimp, Cajun-seasoned
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Sauté Cajun-seasoned shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
  2. Place Texas toast slices on a work surface. Distribute shrimp evenly over two slices and top with shredded pepper jack cheese and chopped green onions.
